It majorly promotes hacking into other people’s accounts so that you can sell them.

Unofficial, unmoderated, unregulated. Scams galore

How do you think they get these accounts with og season gear? They aren’t selling their own prized account. They hack other people, change the password, sell the account and repeat.

1 it messes with their sales cause if people buy account with skins they won't be buying those skins in the account already.. and 2 which is the bigger issue sellers stay hacking into peoples accounts to resell them since there is a high pay for fortnite accounts. For this to end epic has to just bring back everything amd remove exclusivity as long as there's that people will keep hacking and selling for real money.
